What are they?
Talent Academies provide Somerset’s young people with the chance to visit employers. The result of the academies provides the following benefits:
- Learners with a real interest in an industry sector obtain a meaningful visit to real businesses that specialise in the sector activity.
- Employers get to meet young people face to face, and learn how to engage them and what their interests are.
